We're looking for a Strategic Design Leader who thrives at the crossroads of business strategy, customer experience, research, innovation, AI-driven delivery, and digital transformation.

This position takes ambiguous business problems and converts them into clearly defined opportunities, aligned decision-making, and executive-ready deliverables.

This isn't a standard UX, Product Design, or people-management role.

It's a hands-on leadership position suited for someone who can shape business pursuits, navigate complex client work, craft persuasive stories, set direction for prototypes, and bring together multidisciplinary teams spanning multiple accounts

Responsibilities

Guide discovery and problem framing throughout complex transformation, modernization, and innovation projects, structuring ambiguous challenges

Bring together customer needs, business goals, operational boundaries, and technology viability into a single strategic outlook

Shift uncertainty into organized hypotheses, decisions, plans, and measurable outcomes that propel work forward

Lead dialogue with senior-level stakeholders and work through differing opinions to achieve consensus

Craft experience visions, design principles, customer journeys, service ecosystems, and future-state concepts that shape transformation initiatives

Recognize friction, opportunity zones, and intervention points across various channels, roles, and operational frameworks

Turn strategic vision into actionable experience structures, roadmaps, and prototype direction documents

and subsequent follow-up conversations

Transform evidence into implications, recommendations, and decision-ready stories instead of basic reporting

Develop strategic presentations, perspectives, one-pagers, proposals, workshop content, transformation stories, and frameworks for decisions

Arrange intricate information so it's understandable, credible, and ready for executive action

Keep information hierarchy, visual storytelling, and editorial quality consistently high across all materials

Leverage tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Figma AI, Miro AI, and research agents to speed up research, synthesis, content creation, and prototype work

Develop repeatable, AI-supported workflows while maintaining strong judgment, verification processes, and quality checks

Guide teams toward using AI as a productivity booster without losing strategic depth or settling for generic results

Give hands-on strategic direction to researchers, service designers, UX and product designers, content strategists, and solution teams

Convert executive vision into clear briefs, structured workflows, and quality standards that steer team output

Lead successfully through influence, including scenarios where formal reporting authority doesn't exist

Requirements

Over a decade of experience across experience strategy, service design, innovation, consulting, product strategy, or digital transformation





Clear track record owning complicated client engagements from the earliest framing stages through recommendations and concept definition

Hands-on background working directly with senior client stakeholders and account leadership to drive resultsA compelling portfolio featuring executive narratives, strategic deliverables, and transformation-focused work

Highly developed facilitation skill, fostering productive alignment among stakeholders with conflicting perspectives

Strong ability to synthesize, taking complex and varied information and turning it into clear, actionable insight
